EDUCATIONAL MEETINGS.

MR.. a. a. OTEARNS, G9neral agent OF
Buchtel College, Akron, o., will hold ed
ucational meetings at the dates and places
named below:
February ID, Ravenna, q.
February 27, Kent, o.
March 6, Button, Ind.
March 10, Springfield, o.
The primary object of these meetings
is not to solicit funds for the college, but
to bring the college to the attention Of
the people and to enlarge its student con-
stituency. The trustees, whose agent
Mr.. Stearns is. desire most of all now to
present the college to the people upon its
merits, and ask for patronage, not upon
the ground that it is weak and poor, but
because it is strong and prosperous and
entitled to support. They also desire to
enlist the interest OF our wealthy Univers-
alists with a view Of securing requests
and endowments in the future, of which
the college will always be in need. This
latter is not, however, to be part Of the
public services.
We trust that Mr.. Stearns will be gem
erously received by the pastors in the
special field in which he will work. An
educational 'talk" will do good in many
places, and Mr.. Stesrns is we'll qualified
to interest the people.

A SERIOUS financial panic occurred on
the Paris bourse last week, growing out
Of the war rumors. At last reports the
feeling is better, but business is dull,
owing to the unsettled accounts of
brokers and the general shaking up
of credit. On the Berlin bourse there
was also better state of feeling and
q tone of frmness. American securities
were buoyant in London and on the
Continent during the trouble.

THE cars of the South Boston street
railway were "tied up" at the beginning
of the week, the employees having quit
work. There is no material change in the
situation along the water front in New
York and vicinity, the striking longshore-

clothing cutters in Philadelphia occurred
Monday morning. About l 900 employees
were thrown out of work.

We believe that the Holy Scriptures of the Old
and New Testaments contain revelation of the
character of God, and of the duty, interest and
final destination of mankind.
ii.
We believe that there is one God, whose
nature is Love, revealed in one Lord Jesus
Christ, by one Holy Spirit of Grace, who will
finally restore the whole family of mankind to
holiness and happiness.
We believe that holiness and true happiness
are inseparably connected, and that believers
ought to be careful to maintain order and
practice good works; for these things are good
and profitable unto men.

Trying to Count Rauanss

anas In this bunch for me, please
said genial dealer in fruit the other
day to an Indianapolis News writer.
The reporter stopped, wondering at
such request, and proceeded to count.
He first counted all those hanging on
the outside in plain sight, and then
lifting them up or pushing them aside
counted the hidden ones below.
''There are exactly 1863" said he.
The dealer smiled a pitying smile.
and remarked modestly that she had
supposed even a newspaper man
could connt. Then the reporter pro-
posed to count them over again to
prove his accuracy.
This time he observed that they
were arranged in circles or tiers about
the stalk, and he numbered them care
fully, tier by tier. Alas for his boasted
accuracy He found there were LAT
bananas IN the bunch. Fully aroused
now to the precarious situation in
which his mathematical ability was
placed, he began again, while the
dealer stood by with his arms akimbo,
occasionally emitting an audible
chuckle. The final count gave 139 as
result, and the newspaper man was
attempting to stink away unobserved
when the dealer told him to wait
minute.
Said he, "You are not inflated with
pride in your numerical ability now,
are you ?" Then the reporter meekly
signified that he was not. "Well,
then, I'll tell you that not one man
in 100 can count bananas correctly.
as they hang in the bunch, So"
Glow, then, do you find how many
are in a bunch ?"
1--WE use strategy. We take a paper
OF pins and count just how many are
in it. They are arranged in rows, an :
we can count them, and we know we
are right. Then we go through the
bunch of bananas and stick pin in
each one, going over them several
times to make sure that each
one has it's pin. Then, by count
ing how many pins are left, and per
forming little problem in subtrac-
ton, we learn what we are working
after. There areexactly 155 bananas
in that bunch"

The Transcaspian Railway.


In 1886 the Transcaspian Railway
line commenced on the eastern shore
of Gulf Mikhallovsky, at the station
OF Mix Observation-Disclosures. The
shallowness of this gulf made it acces-
slble only to vessels with q very small
draught OF water, and the sinuosities
OF canal forty versts long, marked
out by a double row OF stakes, was a
serious obstacle to navigation. As q
rule the passengers were obliged to get
out OF the train at Krasnovodsk and
get on board small vessel which
could only travel by daylight, all this
causing great loss of time and con-
siderable expense. in order to faCili-
tate communications with the Trans
caspian province, it therefore became
necessary to prolong the railway line
to a point along the coast, which
could be reached by vessels with q
deep draught OF water. The Bay of
krasnovodsk answered these require
ments, but the road leading to it was
some distance from Mikhallovskoe,
and very billy, so that a railway in
this direction would have been very
dear. The result OF an ex-
RiOl hCioiI ny UuC OIdcL vi Scus
Annenkoff went to show that in the
vicinity OF the Island of Uzun-Adq,
upon the route leading to the bay OF
Mlkhallovsky, there was bay which,
with very slight outlay for dredging
would answer all purposes. The work
was soon effected, and q small town
named Uzun-Ada has already been
built upon the southern coast of the
Daria Peninsula. This has already
proved of considerable service, in that
1t has enabled the engineers to receive
from Astrackan, without break OF
bulk, all the material required for
the construction OF. the Amu-Daria line.
AS the canal leading to Uzun-Ada is
very narrow and sinuous, it mas been
marked out with a double row of
posts, to which are attached lanterns
lighted with photogene. The whole
Transcaspian line, from the station of
Uzun.Ada to the Amu-Daria, has a
total length of l oil versts. OF which
794 were constructed in little more
than q year. All the materials were

STOCK BREEDING.


NM. Joulie and Cottu have published,
In the "AnDaGire de la SOCietie des Agri-
"piteVfs De Frdnce,S 1888, the results of
some elaborate experiments which they
have carried out in the feeding of cattle on
clover in its natural state, ensiled, and
dried artificially. Without attempting to
follow them in their records of analysis of
foods, weIghings of excreta, and other de-
tails, We may state the increase in weight
gained by the animals fed on each variety

and bullock were fed on green clover

Painless Regulation.

II Is 10 longer question of dOCbt-although
the -.trary was once believed-thst medicines
which produce violent effects are unsuited to
other than desperate emergencies, In other
words, that superb potent remedies are calculat-
ed TO weaken and injUre the system rather than
reform its irregularities, Among medicines Of
